Maybe I will take these weak *** stock iron heads off and bolt my aluminums on. Or maybe I will just see if I can get her in the 10s with 1.78 in 1.46 ex. valved heads I dont know. I do know some QTPs are in order.

Gotta pull my heads and see where the broken typewriter lies beneath... Been getting a few misfires, so I've stopped driving in the meantime.

Bent pushrods, easy fix, but if I pull the heads, perfect excuse to upgrade... I want to check valves in any case... might as well get it ported... with good springs... maybe LS6 valvetrain? Better check the lifters too...

Well damn, might as well put a cam in to take advantage of it... Upgrade the timing chain, check the oil pump..

Can't breathe you say? Hmmm.. headers would definitely help...

Now that rear is gonna go...

Hmmm.. this might get damned expensive, or I might just swap some pushrods and hope for the best!

Hey, that's a great idea! Did you want to pick it up in your new truck tonight?

Nothing except having Ellis get the tune on my WS6 it was right until I had to reprogram for different gears.
The Truck is getting a gear vendors overdrive and leather seats.
Most of the money gets saved for the kid and the purchase of a new house.
